Today we remember Sgt. Derec Mooney on the 20th Anniversary of his passing while serving with UNMIL in Liberia.
A pleasure for @GCraughwell & I to show the Social Joggers Club from the Curragh around Leinster House. Having protected democracy for most of their adult lives, they finally got to see it first-hand for themselves. “I embrace the insurmountable, I will always find a way… 👊 “
Congratulations to all elements involved in supporting today’s operation. @IrishAirCorps @naval_service @defenceforces @gardainfo
A Joint Task Force comprising members of the @naval_service, @IrishAirCorps, Army Ranger Wing, Revenue Customs Service & @gardainfo have implemented a co-ordinated operation at sea.

Congratulations to all who received their Green Berets.

Today members of the Army Ranger Wing Association (ARWA) will celebrate the 43rd Anniversary of the establishment of the Army Ranger Wing. Former members of the unit will travel near and far and assemble at the designated rendezvous point, remembering their former colleagues.
Some photographs from an old An Cosantoir (Defence Forces Journal) from November 1984. ARW was established four years at this stage.
Happy Christmas to all our #Army, @naval_service and @IrishAirCorps personnel who are on duty on land, at sea, in the air and especially overseas today. 🎅🏻 🎄 🇮🇪 @defenceforces
The members of the Army Ranger Wing Association would like to express their deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Private Seán Rooney, killed on active service whilst serving with UNIFIL Peacekeeping Force, South Lebanon. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

We little knew that day, God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same.
20 years ago I was in Liberia with the @defenceforces 90th Bn advance work group. 27/11/03 is etched in my mind as Sgt Derek Mooney @WingAssociation lost his life in an RTA. I didn't know him personally, but he & those he left behind often cross my mind, rest in eternal peace.

Sound advice on Misinformation from the United Nations
There is a lot of misinformation circulating right now. Misinformation can result in people being left uninformed & can put lives at risk during a crisis. What we share online can have consequences in the real world. Take a minute to pause & verify facts.
@UNIFIL_ Keep up the good work on your mission and mind yourselves
